Zydeco New Year 2009 in Lawtell from alex poliakoff on Vimeo.
Unfortunately, with the death of Roy Carrier the Offshore Lounge is closed indefinitely.
Dick Brainard usually plans a zydeco dance trip to Lafayette for New Year's. Around 200 people from all over the country take advantage of his organizational skills and attend. He gets great room rates and let's people know where to dine and especially where to dance. He knows the bands and where they will be playing. Below are some of the highlights. He already is working on a similar trip for Mardi Gras. If you are interested email Dick Brainard at dickbrainard@gmail.com.
All of Dick's current posting about his New Years and Mardi Gras trips are posted on Portland Sideways under the Zydeco menu. They are called Dick's Zydeco News.
